SUMMARY DESCRIPTION

The M50FW002 is a 2 Mbit (256Kb x8) non-volatile memory that can be read, erased and reprogrammed. These operations can be performed using a single low voltage (3.0 to 3.6V) supply. For fast programming and fast erasing in production lines an optional 12V power supply can be used to reduce the programming and the erasing times.
